Re: i need help fast!!
Describe the clunks when you turn. Is it just a random clunk once, or a clunk, clunk, clunk as you're turning. If its the latter, you have destroyed CV joints. They were probably close to dying anyway if they went that easily, but one of those times when you had it sideways and were steering to correct while your foot was on the gas probably did the trick. CV joints are designed with the car's handling in mind. They are under the most stress while turned sideways, but a normally operating car only ever sees slow speeds when turning. If you turn the wheel and give it gas in the snow, the wheel might be at full lock while the tires are spinning at 65 mph. Not good.
Not sure about the higher revs and easier shifts... The only thing that could really cause easier shifts is an internal change to the transmission which shouldn't have happened. Maybe a better description of the problem will help.
